Why Super Tuesday will not decide anything
Diverse elements at play. Demographies are different, some primaries are open....some are closed, Regional biases, money or lack of money, But most importantly a very small window a very small window between South Carolina and Super Tuedsay will not allow anyone to fully establish themselves as the presumptive nominee.

Obama ought to win Nevada and South Carolina before hen, but I suspect sSuper Tuesday voters are going to discount those and momentum II will not be a real factor.

How do you campaign effectively in 25 states in seven days. It may well come down to who has the best Super Bowl Ads. But they will play differently in different states.


There are 21 states left aftewrds.. but if Super Turesday is a push.....There can be l;ittle doubt we are header for a brokered convention.

1. I pray, cross my fingers, everything I can do, hoping for
a brokered convention. We may get Al Gore, yet!

2. Good analysis
I thought the same thing when I saw the condensed schedule. South Carolina is too close, but in these days of 24/7 media hype there may be some momentum for the winner.
